Professional Pencil Sketching Course
In the 16th century, a massive deposit of graphite was unearthed near Grey Knotts Fell in Cumbria. The discovery was an important step in the history of art as it led to the invention of the pencil. Pencil Sketching is a field which is at the forefront of the fine arts world.
Our professional Pencil Sketching courses will help you master the skill of sketching by training you in both the basics and the advanced concepts.
